Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 248:

As Elyse walked, she gradually composed herself. She asked Jayden calmly, “Where have you been? Why are you back so late?”

Jayden reassured her by gently patting her hand, saying, “I faced a bit of trouble, but it’s all sorted now. I’m here to stand by you, so you don’t need to worry about anything now.”

Elyse didn’t say anything. She received no real explanation, and Jayden seemed to dismiss the issue too casually. He didn’t understand how vulnerable she had felt waiting for him.

Elyse inquired, “What unexpected thing happened to you?”
